Sippy cup

Big guy had one of those big boy moments last night. We are beginning a week of really hot weather, which means our nighttime strolls can get kind of sticky and steamy. But last night turned out to be really nice, not cool, but not sweltering either. Big guy had his favorite kind of sippy cup- tall with a bendy straw filled with milk and some graham crackers.

Big guy was happily munching on his grahams while hubs and I were chattering down our favorite walking tour. Big guy put down his graham on the tray, picked up his cup, carefully put it in front of him for proper sippage, took a nice long drink, and then put the cup back in it's cup holder on the tray. Then he continued to munch. OMG!

While this might not seem like a big deal, it was definitely a big boy move. See- big guy is a great eater and a great drinker (minds out of the gutter people). At least he drinks really well from cups for me. Ok for hubs and disastrously for most other people. And even though he knows how to pick up his cup and drink, he most often just pushes it towards the person so that they can pick it up. A really great step in the right direction. On the walk this morning he did it again. And it's really impressive that he got it back into the cup holder- I mean, some adults can't even do that. I think we might start a real cup soon!
